sensitivity
|
the ability of a test to detect disease when disease is present. how many positive noninvasive US test were confirmed as positive by the gold standard?
|
|
sensitivity equation
|
true positive÷ true positive+ false negatives
|
|
specificity
|
the ability of a test to indicate the absence of disease when disease is present. How many of the negative US tests were correctly identified based on the gold standard
|
|
specifity equation
|
true negatives/true negatives + false positives
|
|
positive predictive value
|
the % of patients who have positive noninvasive test results who actually have disease present. What % of your results predicted abnormality?
|
|
PPV equation
|
true positives/ false positives + true positives
|
|
Negative predictive value
|
the % of patients who have negative noninvasive test results who do not have disease present. What % of your results predicted absence of disease?
|
|
NPV
|
number of true negatives ÷ number of true negatives + number of false positives
|
|
accuracy
|
the % of correct noninvasive diagnoses. How good is the noninvasive test at both detecting and ruling out disease?
|
|
accuracy equation
|
true positives + true negatives ÷ true positives + false negatives + true negatives + false negatives
